[09:06:37] <Zr1trader> Good morning traders
[09:15:56] <werner>
all
[09:18:41] <Trendtrader>
all
[09:25:42] <MattR_> g'morning all
[09:27:10] <MattyR> GM
[09:29:32] <Trendtrader> Long Emini TF @ 902.4
[09:29:35] <Trendtrader> x4
[09:33:50] <Trendtrader> Exited all Emini TF Long @ 900.7 --> - 1.7
[09:42:56] <@wrbtrader> Emini futures in a tight trading range out of the gate
[09:43:13] <@wrbtrader> Not a single WRB Hidden GAP
[09:43:36] <@wrbtrader> except for in Emini NQ futures
[09:44:25] <TigermanTrader>
all
[09:48:41] <TigermanTrader> still tight range seems people wait the news
[09:49:38] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 903.00 -> large size
[09:49:55] <@wrbtrader> 2+2+2
[09:50:16] <@wrbtrader> I'm early on the confirmation
[09:51:04] <TigermanTrader> long iwm 89.83
[09:51:45] <TigermanTrader> exit 89.87 +0.05
[09:53:12] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini TF Long @ 903.50 --> + 0.5
[09:53:48] <@wrbtrader> lucky trade because when the interval completed...it wasn't a trade signal.
[09:54:14] <@wrbtrader> One problem of an "early entry" when the price action pattern isn't confirmed
[09:54:46] <@wrbtrader> Emini TF now trying to go into Creeper Up Movement
[09:59:54] <@wrbtrader> Shorts Emini TF @ 902.90 -> large size
[10:00:05] <@wrbtrader> 4+2
[10:00:08] <@wrbtrader> intuition
[10:00:42] <@wrbtrader> there's a WRB Hidden GAP below on the 2min chart
[10:00:56] <@wrbtrader> I want to see if the price action can retest the R area of the WRB HG
[10:01:12] <@wrbtrader> small risk with small reward
[10:01:37] <@wrbtrader> unless volatility suddenly shows up
[10:01:49] <@wrbtrader> so far, volatility has been declining
[10:02:08] <@wrbtrader> R area retested
[10:02:35] <@wrbtrader> Covered all Emini TF Short @ 902.70 --> + 0.2
[10:02:51] <@wrbtrader> EuroFX 6E volatility increasing
[10:03:46] <@wrbtrader> Key markets not insync
[10:06:47] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 904.20 -> large size
[10:06:52] <@wrbtrader> 3+3
[10:12:19] <@wrbtrader> overall volatility is still declining with the exception of a few volatility spikes that keeps the price action from being a complete bore
[10:17:28] <TigermanTrader> low volatility seems always this way when not strong news are expected
[10:18:03] <@wrbtrader> same with tomorrow too
[10:18:16] <@wrbtrader> There's no hyped key market events for tomorrow
[10:19:05] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini TF Long @ 903.30 --> - 0.9
[10:19:25] <@wrbtrader> Thus, good chance tomorrow will be like today or the best price action will occur long before the regular session open
[10:20:07] <TigermanTrader> yep recently I reserch euro move in early hour
[10:20:57] <@wrbtrader> volatility too low now to push any size
[10:21:49] <TigermanTrader> a clue of this low vola can be detected on euro futures like dax
[10:22:11] <TigermanTrader> I mean all day till now not big move in dax
[10:22:28] <Zr1trader> Short NQ 2731.75 ---- 3 contracts
[10:22:33] <@wrbtrader> Shorts Emini TF @ 903.50 -> medium size
[10:22:42] <@wrbtrader> 4 contracts
[10:23:50] <@wrbtrader> Covered all Emini TF Short @ 904.00 --> - 0.5
[10:28:54] <MattR_> GC in creeper down movement
[10:32:04] <Zr1trader> wrb pt 1 reached , shallow thus far
[10:32:48] <@wrbtrader> Emini TF futures in a Creeper Up Movement without any setups
[10:32:53] <Zr1trader> exit +1 tick
[10:35:17] <@wrbtrader> Long Emini TF @ 905.20 -> large size
[10:35:35] <@wrbtrader> volatility trying hard to increase again
[10:35:52] <@wrbtrader> 6 contracts
[10:40:36] <@wrbtrader> Exited 1/2 Emini TF Long @ 906.30 --> + 1.1
[10:41:55] <@wrbtrader> Exited all Emini TF Long @ 906.40 --> + 1.2
[10:43:00] <@wrbtrader> Try to catch the big reaction point of yesterday's high price
[10:43:23] <@wrbtrader> 906.50
[10:43:35] <@wrbtrader> it was my profit target
[10:43:37] <canaandog> long EMD 1095.5; flat 1096.7 = +12t
[10:49:49] <@wrbtrader> Emini TF hitting hard that 906.50 level
[10:51:14] <@wrbtrader> Gold GC futures still declining...many down WRB Hidden GAPs
[10:56:37] <TigermanTrader> long eurofx 1.3533 forex
[11:00:37] <Zr1trader> Short TF 906.0 ---2 contracts
[11:06:12] <@wrbtrader> Unusual to see Emini TF futures hammering at a level like this...
[11:06:15] <Zr1trader> wrb 1 reached shallow
[11:06:24] <@wrbtrader> usually its Emini ES futures doing such
[11:07:21] <Zr1trader> exit all -1 tick, was trying to give it a little room if it was going to go
[11:09:05] <Zr1trader> Since I have been implementing moving to BE+1 the past week, I still need to work on handling shallow wrb 1
[11:09:43] <Zr1trader> is there a recomended way of handling a shallow wrb 1 mark somewhere in your material?
[11:09:52] <@wrbtrader> none
[11:10:03] <Zr1trader> ok
[11:10:14] <@wrbtrader> small profit targets that show up during the "mid-day" trading session...
[11:10:26] <@wrbtrader> I take them (exit immediately)
[11:10:37] <Zr1trader> I see
[11:10:42] <@wrbtrader> There is ONE exception...
[11:11:01] <@wrbtrader> If you're up big for the day and you're happy with your profit level...
[11:11:14] <@wrbtrader> Then when you take another trade and a shallow WRB pt1 appears...
[11:11:37] <@wrbtrader> I tend to stay in with a BE stop just to see if that shallow WRB pt1 can turn into a WRB pt2
[11:11:52] <@wrbtrader> Simply, it becomes a greed trade
[11:12:22] <Zr1trader> Ok makes sense.
[11:13:49] <TigermanTrader> exit eurofx long at 1.3563 +30 pip
[11:14:45] <TigermanTrader> funny I was almost forget I entered this trade by distracted because reading about euro and economy
[11:15:07] <TigermanTrader> result in a good target reached lol
[11:15:28] <TigermanTrader> simply this kept my impatience at bay
[11:15:55] <TigermanTrader> because I tend to exit too early and not let market move for a decent profit
[11:16:59] <Zr1trader> Im the opposite, I tend to wait too long for profit lol ,
[11:18:03] <Zr1trader> I used to only go for wrb 3 . lately have been going for 2
[11:19:19] <Zr1trader> results have improved going for less, and moving stops to BE+1
[11:19:49] <TigermanTrader> wow for me just a wrb1 it is too much waiting
[11:21:07] <canaandog> Zr1, by be+1 do you mean (entry+1) or (entry+2 or similar)
[11:21:27] <Zr1trader> yeah (break even +1 tick)
[11:22:01] <Zr1trader> before I would just leave it until it either stop got hit or wrb 3 showed
[11:22:09] <canaandog> ah
[11:22:44] <canaandog> I tend to move to be (entry+1 for me) too early
[11:23:17] <TigermanTrader> long eurofc at 1.3575
[11:23:38] <TigermanTrader> break previous intraday high
[11:28:45] <TigermanTrader> exit euro fx long at 1.3590 +15 pip
[11:29:20] <@wrbtrader> Euro Zone economy shows signs of recovery (IBT) @
http://www.ibtimes.com/euro-zone-econom ... ry-1062408[11:32:03] <sylvanlaker> hello
